While making a Resplendent Quetzal marionette, participants will learn about these threatened birds and how they were a treasured symbol of the Aztec Empire. They’ll also discuss biodiversity and how clean water is needed for all life to thrive.
Each workshop participant will receive their own puppet-making kit with everything they need for their parrot: two sheets of PDF quetzal body and wings, chopstick, two weights, yarn for stringing, crayons, scissors, tape, glue stick, feathers and sequin fabric.
Additionally, participants will get a sneak peek at StoneLion Puppet Theatre’s new show, “The Lost Treasure,” featuring quetzal puppets.
The 45-minute interactive workshop is free for schools and families in the Kansas City area! Socially distanced in-person programming may also be available. The workshop is ideal for second through fifth grades.
You’ll be able to provide date and time preferences for your Zoom/Google Meet workshop when you request the program. One workshop per classroom, please.
